Wool on Sundays – 81 (Mother of the Trees)

Welcome to another Wool on Sundays! I’ve decided to start a new year and the word for the year is JOYFUL!

When I was away, last week, I didn’t want to be carting about a large blanket in progress so I just took some Drops Safran and a pair of needles with me and started knitting garter stitch balls in any spare moments. Since forever, I have wanted to have a stall at Christmas and I think these will make a nice garland with the added value of not being too christmassy so they can be used year round. Making them fast enough to accomplish a selling price that anyone would be prepared to pay, however, is another matter…

So I moved onto some trees, which are a bit quicker to knit up.

Then I thought about making single decorations, a larger tree perhaps that was also a person…

But you know how it is with dolls…first there were the usual hair issues and then she didn’t want baubles and tinsel. Then she wanted a pink scarf…She outright refused to be conventionally christmassy – she was joyful!

The Mother of the Christmas Trees :)

Have you ever wondered who gives the stars to the christmas trees?

And as for having a stall, we’re going to have to sleep on it :)

I will most likely never know who she (or faint possibility he?) is or was but I am very grateful to whoever stitched the beautiful vintage cloth I have used for the background of these photos :)
